6.1.1. - Page 14 below target on the expected number of unduplicated households and in-person contacts projected for FY 11-12. The original projecrion was based on the significantly higher number of households served in FY 09-10 and FY 10-11 due to both the increased demand due to the economy and the addition of the short term, Federally Funded Stimulus Food Box Program which, in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank, made it possible for us to exponentially increase our capacity to provide food assistance in the community from May—August 2010. • 97% of the 325 unduplicated households needing food assistance were provided direct assistance. 2% of the households were provided with an appropriate referral. And less than 1% (1 household) declined the emergency food offered. We have provided 1622 units of food (emergency food, family food distribution, grocery certificates). • 88% of the households contacted are still housed six months after being assisted. We are requesting assistance to support the basic operations of the FOCC Information and Referral Program to continue to serve the community with at least three full-time human services specialists and to extend the stay of our Americorp Human Services Specialist intern through the summer until our next Americorp intern joins our staff in September; to assure continuity of eviction defense services provided by the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County;and to assure continuity of our vital nutrition program for older adults provided by Peninsula Family Service. 6. Impact Our primary goal is to continue to maintain our current level of food, shelter, and homelessness prevention services for the community. The impact we hope to achieve is to provide for the basic emergency needs —especially food and shelter- of all members in our community seeking services. Our impact is measured by: • The # of unduplicated households served; # of client contacts —goal is to be able to provide services to at least as many unduplicated households as previous years: 2500 unduplicated households; 6400 client contacts. • # and % of households provided food assistance —goal is 100% provided direct assistance or appropriate referral: 475 unduplicated households including an average of 130 families served by monthly Family Harvest food distribution. • # of older adults served by nutrition program—goal is to be able to provide services to at least as many unduplicated adults as previous years: 475 unduplicated adults in nutrition program; 130 unduplicated adults in weekly Brown Bag program. • # of households provided financial assistance to prevent homelessness —goal: 130 households. • # and % of households still housed six months after being assisted—goal: 80%. • # and % of households seeking assistance for whom we are able to stop eviction proceedings and/or negotiate for additional time for clients to move into other permanent housing and avoid becoming homeless —goal is 90% or 216 households. 7. Unique Aspects and Features of Project One of the most unique aspects and features of our project is our ability to integrate and coordinate services to meet client needs —at the Fair Oaks Community Center,with the County Human Services Agency (just 100 feet across our parking lot), and with other agencies throughout the County. Examples of this include:
